[1000mp] Icom vs Yaesu QSK???

[Neal]

That's interesting. I run QSK all of the time on my 1000MP and have not
experienced any delays in rx recovery as you describe.. I have used it the
past 3 FD contests and it performed flawlessly. Of course  nothing beats the
qsk system on a tentec, and I have several of them also..
